Analysis of a Miocene‐Pleistocene ice‐rafted debris (IRD) record from the western Irminger Basin provides evidence for the initiation and long‐term behavior of the SE portion of the Greenland Ice Sheet. In the late Miocene (˜7.3 Ma), IRD supply to Ocean Drilling Program site 918 increased significan...
